This is where you'll find me and my coworkers (that have turned me into a fan!) Great food, great staff, and awesome service. It doesn't take long to get your food. Salads, soups, entrees, sandwiches, desserts.... All that have been good.
My favorite: Chicken Parmesan Salad (roasted corn inside...yum), & Chicken Cesar Salad .
If I could eat here almost everyday I would! The staff make lunch so comfortable there. -

My boyfriend brought me there to try something new while we were shopping. Cute quant place tucked in the back. We ordered the Creme Brulee. OMG nom nom nom. It was so good! $5 and it was more than enough for us to share.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the service. Confusing much?
So we ordered and grabbed our food and sat down. as we sat down a server came by and asked us if we wanted anything to drink...Wtf? We had that option when we ordered our food. We politely said no, and he looked rather annoyed. Are we supposed to tip this guy? As we were leaving he left a thank you card with some mints. Again are we supposed to tip this guy? Im all for tipping when it is deserved but come on I don't give away money for nothing.
Maybe Im the only one for the confusion. But anyway like I said the Creme Brulee is definitely worth stopping by! -

"Grilled Shrimp Sweet Corn and Arugula Salad"
Tried it. Bought it. Loved it. Bought it again. Resisted licking the plate.
Best salad I have ever had in my life!! Seriously, who needs a boyfriend when you can have this salad?!!! The croutons give your taste buds a warm welcome. They are fresh, warm, and delicately seasoned. The spinach is lightly drizzled in dressing (which I think they should rename Heaven). The grilled sweet corn and cherry tomatoes give the salad a little euphoric touch putting all the other salads to shame. Finally, the star of the show: the Succulent, juicy, seasoned to perfection grilled shrimp...Oh.My.Gosh. Have you ever been in love? This salad will make you reconsider. -

I had the Tomato Basil Soup, and the Santa Fe Panini, and it was delicious. Even better than the food was the awesome service.

I don't know why I was so reluctant to dine at the Nordstrom Cafe at first; time after time, the quality of the food proves to be superior to other local offerings, regardless of the particular Nordstrom location. In this case, we were at the Fashion Show Mall, and I opted for the cranberry sandwich on the advice of the server. My wife got the blackened salmon on a Caesar salad. Both were excellent, and the service as always was friendly and attentive.
The only thing I would point out is that the room temperature always seems to lean a bit towards the polar ice caps side of the thermometer. For me, this is a plus, but be warned if you are one of those people who likes a warm room. -

Now I like this place. I can get a cup of soup and half a sandwich. Perfect! The selection is nice and although a bit dark the atmosphere is nice. The fact that you can seat yourself is great. If there's a booth available the staff don't look at you funny if you're with only one other person and you take a booth.
The service is a bit hit and miss. Sometimes, things come out from the kitchen quickly and other times you could die waiting. No explanation for this as there's really no rhyme or reason to it.
Today we went upstairs to have lunch there and the line was ridiculous. The only explanation I can come up with is that there are times when they hold back the line as there are no tables. So, natch, we didn't eat there today. -

I did not even read the reviews from my yelp friends - Mamie P. and I did some shoe shopping and realized it was after 3:30 PM and we had not eaten anything since breakfast!
We knew the mall options near Nordstrom are limited, so we went upstairs to check out the cafe. We both ordered the nicoise salad with salmon, and we both licked our plates CLEAN!
it was soooo ridiculously tasty! I have never been a cold nicoise fan and I especially don't like cooked tuna much, but it looked good so we went with it. I've got to honor my French heritage a little.
Indulgence! Fresh field greens, basalmic dressing, hidden tasty treats like capers and kalamata olives, tomatoes, red onion, hard boiled egg, HOT potato wedges, haricort verts, and this deliciously herb-y and garlicky salmon! YUMMMMM seriously. and a yummy little crouton to go with it!
I was totally impressed and would definitely come back for lunch and to try more salads. The prices are reasonable too! -

It is pricey, but we love the cafe. The tomato soup is amazing, the desserts are very good and they have great kids choices. It can be hard to find a table if you come during the lunch rush, but early (before like 1130am) or late (after 130ish) and you're probably ok.

I can't help it. I love this place. I've been here dozens of times over the years and my two aunts (shopaholics) make a point to come here everything they visit from LA. Not sure why, I'm pretty sure they have one there, but it's a requirement on all their visits. Maybe ours is just that much more awesome. I love the pastas, the paninis are pretty awesome, and their salmon ANYTHING is always fabulous. I love the pear/almond bars too. You can't shop on the third floor of Nordstrom and not be tempted by this amazing place. It's like a desert mirage in the middle of a department store.

I love this cafe. What I love about this place the most probably is the location. I love to eat here when I'm too lazy to walk all the way to the other side of the mall where the food court is located. This hidden eatery is located on the 3rd floor in between the home and junior sections of the department store.
They serve a variety of gourmet salads, sandwiches, pastas, pizzas and pastries. The prices are on the pricier side, but I feel the quality and taste of the food are worth it. I always end up with the chicken tomato alfredo with penne pasta. But my absolute favorite is the Roma tomato basil soup. I think I like it the best because it comes with this unbelievable parmesean crostini. *Ask for an extra and they are happy to oblige.
If you end up liking the soup, you can always pick up a jar to take home. Too bad they don't sell those crostinis as well. (at least that I know of, I've never asked). -

Somewhat like Panera, but so so much better.
My chicken pesto panini was great, though I wish they had honored my request to leave out the tomatoes. Chocolate chunk cookie was delicious & just what I was craving.
The service is what makes it though. Seriously, I can't remember how many times our server filled our water glasses. Much better than what I was expecting.Listed in: On the Road

For the price the food is awesome. I had the skirt steak chimmichuri ($13.50)and creme brulee ($5). Both were delicious. The service could have been better. I had never been here and am still unsure if the waitstaff gets you drink refills or if you get them yourself--I was never offered a soda refill. I figured if they did nothing more than bring my food to me initially then no reason to leave a tip right?--I mean Carl's Jr. brings your food to your table and I never leave a tip there. The server does come by half way through your meal to leave a little tray with mints and a thank you buisness card--I guess this is asking for a tip? Aside from my confusion if this is self-service or semi-wait serviced I enjoyed the food so much I'm still giving it 5 stars.

Review from Malia H.
Aiea, HI
The cafe is located on the second floor.
The staff is very friendly and attentive.
The main reason I love coming here is to order the mixed berry chicken salad. Mixed Berry Salad with Chicken has strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, candied walnuts, blue cheese & mixed greens tossed in a raspberry vinaigrette with chicken. I love it. The Nordstrom Cafe at home in Hawaii but it does not carry this salad. The vinaigrette dressing is a bit tart so I like to get it on the side since you never know if the person making the salad has a heavy hand or not.
Other than that, this place has all my usual Nordstrom Cafe favs like the tomato basil soup. ^_^*~ -

I have gone here so many times and have been waiting to write a review. Tonight, a friday night in which I have the cough and have nothing else better to do, is the night when I want to share with other yelpers the awesome-ness of this cafe.
I never really liked salad. To me, it's too boring. Boy was I wrong when I gobbled down the Mixed Berry Salad with chicken. Now I have the love for this salad. The combination of the different berries (strawberries, blackberries and raspberries), candied walnuts, crumbled blue cheese, mixed with lovely fresh greens and blackberry champagne vinaigrette over it is amazingly refreshing. People who loves berries must try this. oh so GOOD.
I've tried the tuscan chicken entree and the chicken I had was juicy and nice. It comes with grilled veggies (potatoes, carrots, zucchinis and red bell pepper). My bf ordered another time, and he said his chicken was dry though. That sucks for him, but I enjoyed my food, please see below.
I had the.....drum roll please...GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH w/TOMATO BASIL SOUP!!!!!
yep yep, from the kid's menu, but i don't care. It's super yummy to me. I had the sourdough bread, in which you have the option of them making it using wheat bread. The kid's meal comes with a drink (i chose oj) and a bowl of fresh fruit. Guess how much does my favorite meal cost at this awesome cafe? under $5 bucks!
Their cookies are very big and good as well. They are soft and chewy. I had their triple chocolate brownie, it was decent, not something that i would order again though. I have also tried their lemon bar. It was refreshing. My bf ate it and said it taste like a soap bar, but again, lemon isn't his flavor, why did I even bother to shove a piece down his throat...BECAUSE i want him to taste the yummy stuff that I taste. O well, i will not waste anymore yummy stuff on someone who doesn't know how to savor lemony stuff. Which means...MORE FOR ME!!!
The end of the meal, they give you chocolate mint sticks, which are fabulous, icing on the cake for me.

The best salmon salad I ever had. A surprising, delicious lunch option at this end of the mall. The most delicious food for an impatient, hungry shopper. So happy Lisa L and I gave it a try.

5 stars for a cafe in a department store!
The menu selection is above & beyond anything I would have ever expected to come out of a mall.
The Tomato Basil Soup with the Parmesan Crostini is so delicious. Definitely the best Tomato Basil I've ever had!
Mixed Berry Salad with Chicken is my favorite salad. It has strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, candied walnuts, blue cheese & mixed greens tossed in a raspberry vinaigrette with chilled chicken. So good. I'm normally not too huge on blue cheese in my salads, because its such a dominant flavor- but with the berries, it neutralizes the sweetness.
OKAY, & the best part of all...they have Creme Brulee! Very, very good Creme Brulee. Definitely the cherry on top of a great meal!
Now that I have my own mouth watering, I will stop talking about food & let you know that the service is wonderful! Its kind of self service in the sense that you pay for your food, get your drink & pick a seat. From there- a server will bring your food out to you & refill your drink. I have never met anyone less than pleasant at Nordstrom Cafe- fine dining service in a casual dining environment.
So next time you find yourself starving while shopping at the Fashion Show- ditch the food court & head over to the 3rd floor of Nordstroms where the cafe is nestled behind the teen clothing section. -

I can't believe I've never written a review about Nordstrom Cafe, saying that it is one of my favorite spots! Aww, their tomato soup holds a special place in my heart. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful w/sounds of jazz in the background. The people are especially pleasant and always around when you need them. Prices are pretty reasonable, but if your a lil on the broke side order the cheese pizza or the grilled cheese/tomato soup off the kids menu, they're enough for an adult, but the price for kids :) I love the variety of quality food and the deserts are out this realm!! If you go out there, you have to of course try the tomato soup, but the raspberry almond bar is quite deelish!

Review from Peg S.
If for some reason you want to avoid the massive brunch buffets in Vegas, the Nordstrom Cafe is a pleasantly relaxing option for breakfast. Yeah, it's in the mall at a department store, but the food is quite good. I had the manageably sized mushroom, spinach & cheese omelet, with toast, a bit of potatoes, and a cup of fruit. All pleasingly presented and satisfying to the palate -- especially the fluffy eggs. We had great service and the food came quick.

My coworkers and I eat lunch here 2x a week! It's really good, and pretty quick to get in and out of if you arrive before 11:30.
The food:
Salads made to order (nicoise, crispy chicken, salmon caesar, and my favorite.. chicken with berries).
Delicious Sandwiches (recommend california with turkey, bacon, avocado and melted cheese)
Soups
Pasta
Basically very high quality awesome tasting american food in a sort of cafeteria setting.
Staff is incredible. Friendly and constantly refilling your drink, offering to get you whatever.. awesome. Sadly the staff here is far better than the staff I've encountered lately at 5 star restaurants.. only difference is most of the staff here doesn't have the requisite plastic surgery.Listed in: Healthy Eating in Vegas, I'm a Regular Here...

WAY overpriced. Tasty sandwiches, but the chips are barely a step above Lays, and the drinks and desserts are priced outrageously. $33 for lunch is crazy, even for Vegas, at least for this basic level of cuisine.

During my last day in Vegas I was pretty tired of shelling out $25-30 per meal for something mediocre so I thought of walking across my hotel to Fashion Show Mall to find the Nordstrom's Cafe. The prices are the same as your home Nordstrom's, and the choices are great! You can get a large sandwich to share for $8.50 or one of their hearty soups for $4/bowl, $3/cup.
If you want something quick and easy like a sandwich without the Vegas pricetag, come here! -

The food was good, and light. It felt healthy. I had the grilled cheese and a cup of tomato soup. When my grilled cheese came out, it was a bit too black/cooked, so I sent it back. They had replaced it pretty quickly, and it was good. The tomato soup was good too.
It was a nice place to take a break from shopping. My roommate got a chicken salad of sorts and she liked hers as well! -

I love to shop and what better place to shop than the fashion show mall? So while wearing myself out shopping till i drop I always do a pit stop here at nordstroms and today was nothing different.
One of my favorite things here is their soup. Tomato basil is always there while everyday they change the other option to a "soup of the day." Between the pumpkin soup and the spicy asian veggie I don't know which one could be my favorite. Lucky for me everytime I happen to drop on in he spicy asian veggie is on tab. (woohoo for my taste buds.) It happened to be the lucky one today so I was a happy lady. I ordered a small cup to get me by while sharing a nordie cookie with my mom. (think a giant fluffy cookie all with chocolate chunks, coconut, and macadamia nuts. all for $1.95!) The cup of soup goes for $3.50 while a bowl goes for $4.50. Talk a bout a cheap lunch and something a little better than the food court. If soup isn't your fancy than I would recommended anyone of the pizza's or panini sandwiches.
The service here is always lovely. They are always smiling. (or maybe my excited smile for my soup just catches on!) They are always willing to help and fill your drinks for you. Also the little dessert chocolate mints they give you at the end are pretty awesome. I'm a fan of them. -

Wow, really love their tomato soup. If you love basil.. then add extra!! Always get this when I'm shopping and passing by. It's really hidden so as you walk in Nordstrom, ask someone for directions. I have tried a few sandwiches and they have Republic of Tea!! Yay. The only reason why I gave this place 4 stars is because of the price. Very pricey. But if you're passing by, its worth a try.

There are numerous reasons to admire Nordstrom's Cafe; It's semi "need to know someone who knows where it is" location, brick oven pizzas and calzones, and a menu that's always a little different from your previous visit.
They have a small selection, but everything is amazing and freshly made: Panini's, salads, pizzas, pastas, and soups are their main fair with great desserts as well. You could blind pick anything they offer and be pleased with your choice.
If they're available, I suggest the Calzone or the Salmon meal.
Also a plus, they serve beer! Never a bad thing.
They also have a quasi waiter service which will provide you drink refills and take away your plates. The staff is always nice and attentive, and the joint its self is typically busy, but never busy enough to cause you to wait.
If you're in the Fashion Show and need some grub that's worth a damn, definitely skip the food court and head to Nordstrom's Cafe on the third floor of Nordstrom's. -

First off not all Nordstroms Cafe are created equal. They all have different menus depending on their region. The Las Vegas menu doesn't change much, but they will offer a "special" on occasion. We like their menu, it's simple & consistent. The runners are attentive & very helpful...especially with our children. I can honestly say we haven't had a bad experience...yet. (knock on wood) The roasted chicken with roasted vegetables,, caesar salad with parmesan chicken, tomato basil soup...are all good. And I never had a crappy bowl of Mixed Berries...they sell out fast. The kids cheese pizza is always good...says the kids. Go give it a try...good service & great menu. If you don't try it...thats fine with us, We don't want it too crowded.

I can't believe this place is not reviewed enough. This is one of my favorite brunch places in Las Vegas. The view is fantastic and the lunch choices is top notch. There is a great selection of soup, sandwiches, salad and pasta to choose from. For $10-15 a person you're guaranteed to get your money's worth in terms of food, service and decor.

Love love love this place! You always know what to expect... Most places show you a photo or a food display and when you receive it, it has no resemblance to what you are served... This place has good prices, portions, and good food. Tomato soup rocks, salads are very tasty and fresh, pastas, sandwiches, hot dishes, tried almost all and have yet to find something I dislike. It's also very casual as it's a cafe... So it's perfect to take my son to.

good food, reasonable price, nice decor. i had the salmon with grilled veggies and everything tastes good.
i would have given five stars, but this is a cafe rather than a restaurant. u carry a tray and stand in line to order your food. also it was a long walk from the entrance to the farthest corner of the Fashion Show Mall to get here.
